So three out of the four quarter finals now confirmed.
Crusaders vs Reds
Chiefs vs Waratahs
Brumbies vs Hurricanes
Blues won’t know who they play until atleast after the next game.
I'd almost prefer the Rebels to beat the Highlanders as the Force will be a much easier proposition in a 1/4 final than the Landers would ever be.
But stuff that, I ALWAYS back a NZ team over anyone else, come on Highlanders!

Lol 4 wins and you get to play next week
Real good comp we've got here

Final standings:
From the SANZAAR website (the NZR website still has some kick-off times as TBC):
(times are local times, so Brumbies v Hurricanes starts at 9.45pm NZT)

It’s only this format this year isn’t it?
I reckon it’s fair enough this season given the uncertainties and disruption with Covid.
Just think of the quarters as a final round.
Top four should still be the semi finalistsNope same next year 'and going forward', just there won't be the Ozzie teams only playing extra games against Ozzie teams, those are spread out, I think.
Teams will play 14 regular season matches with each team to host seven matches
Teams will play 8 teams once and 3 teams twice with a focus on derby matches -

What are the SF seedings? Winner of QF1 v QF4 and winner of QF2 v QF3?
Semi-Finals – top-ranked quarter-final winner hosts against lowest-ranked quarter-final winner & 2nd highest ranked quarterfinal winner hosts 3rd highest ranked winner

Brumbies losing four in a row would be a surprise.
Doable for the Canes but I wouldn’t be putting the house on it. -

Wellington and Paraparaumu. They were dark times (well, less in Kapiti).
Unusual considering all the Bogans up that way

Sekope Kepu suspended for 3 weeks
Kepu, who was in his 150th Super Rugby game, was sent off in the first ten minutes for a nasty tackle on Andy Muirhead.
"Having conducted a detailed review of all the available evidence, including all camera angles and additional evidence, including from the player and submissions from his legal representative, Aaron Lloyd, the Foul Play Review Committee upheld the Red Card under Law 9.13," Foul Play Review Committee Chairman Michael Heron QC ruled.
"With respect to sanction the Foul Play Review Committee deemed the act of foul play merited a mid-range entry point of 6 weeks due to the World Rugby instructions that dictate any incident of foul play involving contact with the head and/or neck must start at a mid-range level. T
"Taking into account mitigating factors including the Player's extensive playing career, remorse, and his acceptance of foul play, the Foul Play Review Committee reduced the suspension to 3 weeks.
"The player is therefore suspended for 3 weeks, up to and including 25 June 2022.”
Will he miss any games? For a player who's not going to play test matches and with NPC so far way still, such a suspension means nothing, except having it on your record. -
